Abstract
In this paper one method for analytically describing the life distribution of a system is investigated. This is done by using the inherent properties of convolutions and mixtures of life distributions to create an algebraic structure. Once the algebraic structure is constructed it can be used to develop algorithms to go from the schematic of a system to its survival function. It is noted along the way that many combinations of constant failure rate components, e.g., redundant, series, or parallel systems can be described by a mixture of convolutions and that often these expressions can be greatly simplified.

    Computing algebraic immunity by reconfigurable computer 

    McCay, M. Eric; Stănică, Pantelimon; Butler, Jon T. (2012-09);
    Algebraic immunity (Al) is a property of a Boolean function f that measures its susceptibility to an alebraic attack. If f has a low algebraic immunity and f is used in an encryption protocol, then there are ways to ...

    Optimal Feedback Control Laws by Legendre Pseudospectral Approximations 

    Yan, Hui; Ross, I. Michael; Fahroo, Fariba (The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2001-06-25);
    We develop state feedback control laws for linear time-varying systems with quadratic cost criteria by an indirect Legendre pseudospectral method. This method approximates the linear two-point boundary value problem to a ...
